Pakistan favour green top wickets after Multan defeat
13.24 IST   01st Apr 2004

By IndiaExpress Bureau

Defeated on a placid Multan track, Pakistan has now decided to go for green top wickets in the remaining two Tests at Lahore and Rawalpindi in a bid to bounce back in the series.

Coach Javed Miandad said after his team's defeat here that he has full faith that his fast bowlers would click in the remaining Tests and for that purpose they would have to be given suitable wickets.

Former Pakistan great Imran Khan also advocated green tops at Lahore and Rawalpindi saying that the home side should play to its strength which was fast bowling.

He conceded that such a strategy may back fire if Indian seamers knocked out Pakistanis but said that there was no option for Pakistan but to take that risk.
